Well I'm buggered.

Been working on a roof for the last 2 days setting up this sodding mock-up. The temp is somewhere in the 30s and the humidity about a billion percent, or something. I have lost 20 pounds in weight and am about as hydrated as a bag of crisps. I used to do this 6 days a week for God's sake.

Managed the Big HMV Shop on Sunday. Canned a couple of the buys and added a few in (including the new Gomez album that I am listeneing to at the moment; really quite good) will post a list for your nauseation when I stop sweating.

Seen several movies over the last few days;

Irreversible; The movie that Dave warned was nearly banned everywhere; well it should have been. Not for being too harsh (although it is) but for doing it gratuitously and for having no real content at all.

SPOILER COMING

Can be summarised as; Girl and 2 guys (1 boy friend, 1 admirer) go to a party. Girl gets pissed off and starts home alone. Gets raped and beaten into a coma in a subway (not pleasent) BF and A go in pursuit of rapist and track him down to a very seedy gay club. BF gets arm broken by rapist. A beats rapist to death with fire canister thingy. Edit scenes to show backwards. Claim art movie status. Wank.

The version we saw was definitely cut, but assuming that the cuts were the harsher shagging / rape scenes and not actual content then it just goes to cement my opinion of this piece of sputum further.

Blow up; very good 70's London movie about conceited pro photographer and his exploration of one of his photographs. Main dissapointment is (young) Venessa Redgrave getting her tits out but conspicuously NOT letting the camera have a full view of her Jublies. Stiff upper lip brit conservatism exonerated by later by later beaver shot of young model hopeful types that our hero is "interviewing" so one can only blame VR's agent / prudish nature.

Les Triplettes De Bellville; Top animation, although too short (1 hour 10 mins) Stylistically excellent in ways that only the French seem to be capable of. Almost no dialogue at all. Good, cause it's in french. LOTS of frog eating and dogs barking at trains. Watch if you value life.

Spiderman; Still excellent. Version 1 suit scene still one of the most amusing cinematic moments of all time.

That's all for now, I have to go and shower the salt off my bones and get back to site for the night time inspection (they do this to torture me.)
